343, if Ozzy is complaining how bad your game is, you know you've fucked up badly.
Fix this shit.
Fix this shit.
I told you it was a shit show!
The boops definitely helped because it let you know how much you had to lead.
1 v 1 strafe offs are still a lil random though because you never know when he's gonna change direction and make you aim 3 feet in the other way. almost feels like 1 v 1 DMR fight with full bloom
I know right? It should be 16

Is "3D Combat" the right way to describe gameplay in Classic Halo? Players are strafing, jumping, and crouching all while playing on maps with a vertical emphasis? Sprint and ADS appear to directly contradict the concept of 3D Combat and seem to promote "Tunnel Vision Combat" instead where the only important direction is forward.
I like you.
Thrusters are only able to move on a 2d plane without the addition of jumping or falling.
ADS while not visually pleasing to all functions exactly the same as zoom. Zoom arguably has more tunnel vision given that it darkens everything outside of the scope making it harder to make things out.
That's more of a balance feature though. You gain increased visual range at the cost of being less aware of your immediate surroundings.
Yes but his point against ADS was that it creates tunnel vision which zoom already did to a greater degree.

Yes because tint is harder to see through than a weapon taking up half your screen right? Good point.

Exactly. Thruster can move you in 8 possible directions. Sprint can move you in 1 possible direction. Thrusters promote 3D Combat better than Sprint. Not sure what you are trying to say here or if you are just agreeing with me.

preview of super duper top secret ultra forreal thing coming soon:
Most of the weapons we've seen so far don't take up much space aside from the bottom of the gun. The tint in previous Halo's obscured everything outside the actual scope.
Better sure but they still only work on a 2D plane which is what you were making a point against sprint for. If you're going to ignore the intended function of one ability and it's variables you've gotta do it for every other ability.
I thought that was a weird space orgy for a second...preview of super duper top secret ultra forreal thing coming soon:
Still a little unsure

If your stance is that a physical weapon blocking your view is easier to see through than the tinted edges of classic scopes, I'm not sure there's anything more we can discuss.
You do understand what 3D means right? If you have a point to make, please just make it instead of making vague statements about variables and intended functionality.

I asked this on reddit but it hadn't occurred to me to ask on GAF.
I've gotten a new 360; last time I owned one was back in 2008 and the last Halo I played was Halo 3. I was planning on picking up one of the Halo games up to play multiplayer exclusively, and while I know that most people have jumped ship to MCC, I was hoping to find what the consensus was on which 360 experience was still the best.
As it stands, from what I got from reddit, I was actually just going to go get ODST (I was missing some map packs for 3), Reach, and 4 to try them all; so, basically, they weren't very helpful. I was wondering if there's anything in particular that may turn me off from any of these games. I'm not expecting something at the level of Halo 2 or 3 from Reach or 4, but I just want something fun that isn't so outside the series' identity that I'd be better off playing another game.

Finding games outside of Social Slayer on 3 is a real chore. Even Social Slayer struggles to match you with people at times. Halo 4 is basically BTB. I dislike the game itself but the population is enough to get you matches quickly. I've not touched Reach in ages. I'll let you get the information you need from that.
The overall screen real estate that is obscured is less than what zoom obscures. I don't see what's hard to understand here.
Sprint is intended to be used as a means of traversal. Thrusters are meant for a quick boost in a single direction. Sprinting backwards, left, or right wouldn't make any sense either. Similar to how the Ghost has BOOST.

This is objectively false.Yes but his point against ADS was that it creates tunnel vision which zoom already did to a greater degree.
Frankie said over on HBO that the $15 Xbox Rewards rebate for HMCC "is for everyone [who was already registered with Xbox Rewards] who pre-ordered MCC digitally, regardless of when (to date). "

That would be nice. I'll have to keep an eye on my Rewards balance

The three dimensions are:
-Forward/Back
-Left/Right
-Up/Down
If you think about it, Sprint isn't even a one dimensional ability.

I bought day 1 physical so I'll take the 6 map map pack rebate containing Terminal and Headlong, thank you please.
The screen from Halo Reach is literally tunnel vision. More of your screen is obscured. While you can still "see", there is more being covered up.
Halo 5's ADS while obstructed completely on the bottom, covers less of the overall screen.
Just for future reference, I don't particularly like ADS even aesthetically. I much prefer zoom. I am willing to give it a shot however.
I really don't see how ads is any different to zoom with regards to your original point. Of anything zoom promotes "tunnel vision" more than ADS as your peripheral vision is obscured whereas with ads its obscured directly in front of you.
This is one of the saltiest things I've read in HaloGAF in a while...
If we'd some how get a H2A map pack that has Headlong, Terminal, Turf, and Containment I think I'd legit only play H2A
I'd take that map pack over $15 bucks, for sure.
My dream would be:
Terminal
Headlong
Containment
Midship
Ivory Tower
Waterworks
(I feel like Beaver Creek/Turf/etc, are easier to make in H2A Forge)
You look like you've been to a wild placeboy how about that master chief collection literally for real ruining my life for all intensive purposes huh

You are able to see much more outside of scope with Zoom than ADS. Tinted screen>blocked screen. That's pretty much the crux of it.

Making the standard zoom picture smaller doesn't count for claiming that it has less viewable space.
I'm not trying to say zoom blocks more than ads. It's just the original point he was trying to make was that ads promoted "tunnel vision". Whereas zoom is the feature which obscures your peripheral vision.

What is that
Where are my rewards then?
I just grabbed the first clean pics I saw. We all know the screens are bigger. The screen being that size doesn't take away from my point either.
Where the wild things are cosplay

I feel like having to argue against things like Sprint and ADS in Halo is what keeps us from having nice things. If we didn't waste our time debating objectively bad features, we could probably discuss good ideas for Halo.
He could use a joey in his pocket.
For Halo 3. Halo 3 base speed is soooooo slooowwww
Here's some broader views
Really surprised this is the best I could find...

Yeah halo 3 feels super sluggish. Brutal going from halo 2 to 3

Tomorrow is the game awards. Probably will happen then.
Was banned for being a tease. I still expect something good this week, just not sure when. Maybe the bulletin or at the TGA thing tomorrow.
